Medium Empire Lampshade – Ecru with Ink | Handmade in the UK
£225.00
A commanding presence defined by architectural contrast, our Medium Empire Lampshade in Ecru with Ink is a striking choice for larger antique statement lamps and floor-standing luminaires.
Individually handmade in the UK by skilled artisans, this shade elevates the traditional gathered technique with a sophisticated Ink-toned detail. The creamy, textured Ecru linen provides a luminous body, while the dark, ink-coloured trim at the crown and base adds a graphic, tailored edge. This design is particularly effective at grounding bright ceramic bases or adding definition to polished brass and ebonised wood antiques.

Crafted from 100% natural linen and fully lined in pure silk, the material quality ensures a superior diffusion of light. While the ink trim provides a contemporary crispness, the internal silk lining preserves a classic warmth, casting a rich, ambient glow that enhances the character of heritage interiors and period features.
With its generous 30cm base, this Medium Empire shade offers the scale required for substantial table lamps. The meticulous hand-stitching and traditional gathering over a robust frame ensure a finish that is both enduring and refined. As an artisanal piece, the subtle variations in fabric tension and pleating are a testament to its handmade origins.
